THE GREATEST WEAPON !

  “For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds…. “ 2 Corinthians 10:4 KJV As christians, we are not improverished of ammunitions with which to withstand the enemy and his wiles. Yet these weapons are variably effective. There is, therefore, the need to look into the nature of each of them and reasonably determine the most productive. According to Paul, in the preceding scripture, our arms are not physical; prayer, praise/worship, faith, obedience and Light, are all rather abstract though results-yielding. Now, which of these does satan fear most? Let us find out from the following paragraphs. Prayer is a good arm. It transforms both on the inside and on the outside of us. But if prayer is a request, then satan can pray too; he got far into God’s presence, requesting of His permission to try Job. He demanded of The Lord to sift Peter like wheat. Thus, prayer is not satan’s most-feared ! Afterall, he too can pray to God. D...

As head of her household, she may have been either widowed or single. So strong was her faith that her entire household followed her example and was baptized. She extended hospitality to Paul and his companions, even after their imprisonment. Her Sorrow: To see Paul and Silas beaten and thrown into prison for the sake of the gospel she had embraced.

THE BENEFITS OF SERVING GOD !

 


” There is profit in all labour but…”

Proverbs 14:23

Our opening scripture says there’s profit in every labour. That’s why He says, ” Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might;…” Afterall, you’ll prosper in everything you do. But the Bible points out that he that’s from above is above all. Thus, one can equally assert that the labour from above is above all other earthly labour. The paragraphs below prove the superiority of kingdom roles over earthly professions.
( Ecclesiastes 9:10, John 3:31 )

FAVOUR & PEACE.
“The blessing of Jehovah, it maketh rich; And he addeth no sorrow therewith…”
Proverbs 10:22.

Peace is never found in wealth. Only God gives true divine peace. Accompanying the FAVOUR of God due to our continued submission to him, is Peace. Peace is the condition of The human Spirit that secures, sustains and multiplies the BLESSING. It comes as a result of our righteousness. And righteousness is the reward of FAVOUR.

JOY
“The seventy-two returned with joy and said, “Lord, even the demons submit to us in your name.”
Luke 10:17.

Happiness is for a moment, but Joy lasts forever. The latter was the portion of the disciples after they’d carried out their kingdom assignment. And that shall be our reward too if we do. Joy begets LIGHT. Now when Apostle Paul made this discovery for which he was able to do so much exploits, he handed it over to us, saying, ” rejoice in The Lord “.
( Philipians 4:4 & Isaiah 12:3 )

LONGEVITY & SECURITY.
” If they listen and serve him,
they’ll finish their lives in prosperity
and their years will be pleasant. ” Job 36:11

It’s an undeniable fact that no service in the world has been able to offer this package to her employees. This is because no man can provide life, true lasting peace and good health except God. It’s neither in wealth nor is it in affiliations. And this what The Lord Jesus means when He said, ” Life is not measured by how much you own. “
( Exodus 23:26, Luke 12:15 )

Beloved, God loves business and other forms of work. But let’s endeavor to complement our carreers with kingdom tasks. That way, we will obtain priceless and unpurchasable benefits.
And irrespective of the particular role each of is play for The Lord , there’s a reward awaiting us according our works. So let’s not grow weary in doing good.
